Transfer News, Rumours and Bollocks Thread

[Kaiser]

Arseblog says Song and RVP have now changed to Darren Dein as their agent. They're gone next summer guaranteed.

[Marc Overmars]

It's critical that we sort out Theo, RVP and Vermaelen THIS year.

Not fussed about Arshavin and I certainly don't care about Djourou, but the ones I mentioned above we should be acting now to get their contracts extended. I think Vermaelen would sign, he owes us after his long injury lay off, but I think RVP is obviously one that will weigh up his options being in the prime of his career, and I think Theo could even do the dirty as well if he doesn't get his chance up front.

[hobson's choice]

What the fuck is this? Are they letting us down gently by giving us the bad news up front (apart from Djourou which would be great news)?



What's the strategy here? Roll out the red carpet for opposition teams to start the transfer ball rolling early? Drop massive hints to the players we expect them to go? Why comment about this at all? If these 4 left and despite the fact JD might leave too, how would the ticket prices be justified? And where has this financial crisis come from all of a sudden? We can't afford to keep the players we have, never mind sign new ones? Where is all the money going then?

I swear he's trying to get them to fire him

Is not just about money though either, if we don't compete on the trophy front it's nigh on impossible to hold onto better players anyway.

The only one I really give a toss about is RVP to be honest, if we lose him we're f*cked.

Vermaelen is a crock
Djourou is sh*t
Walcott is average
Arshavin is getting though I wouldn't mind seeing what he could do under a different manager who plays him in his best position.

Really?

RVP I agree with but the other two, well one is always injured and the other one if we're honest, well there's better options out there, should have bought Young (said so many times before Man U got him, always thought he was key to Villa and a really dangerous player), much better player.

I'm tired of players who getting years to deliver anything of note, just replace with quality players who have already proved their ability.

Other than RVP and Wilshere, Sagna (and Oxo though he won't leave) I honestly couldn't give a toss who leaves as there's better players out there.

I'd love it if AW went to PSG and signed them all, we'd be killing two birds with one stone

We aren't buying better players to replace the old and that's part of the problem.

Also, I can't stress this enough, notice how Ashley Young is a right footer playing on the left wing? If Wenger had him playing on the right we'd see a different player. The sort of goals he scored against us just wouldn't be possible. If Wenger would at least swap Theo from the right wing to left, he'd probably increase his goal scoring record by a wide margin.

Yes he's a crock and never plays.

BBC has a few rumours

1) Citeh ready to offer RvP a contract in Jan. . . .need to work very hard on keeping Robin, my heart tells me he wont go, feel he could do a Bergkampand see is time outwith us - I hope I am right
2) Afellay out with serious new injury which means no move. . .would take this guy but not sure now. . .you can add him to the list of players who went to Spain thinking they would actuallt get a game!
3) Same story has Alcantras name popping up. . .would say yes to him too, has looked useful this season, pre included
